Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer, Zakir Hussain. "As We Speak"

Album Review

Banjo master Béla Fleck, Tabla player Zakir Hussain, Grammy winning Bassist and composer Edgar Meyer, and bansuri player Rakesh Chaurasia have all come together for an epic fusion piece that traverses a multitude of genres. Over a decade in the making, this stellar piece of work is an evocative instrumental journey through Raga, improvisational Jazz, Bluegrass and folk, and emphasizes heavily on the improvisational elements found in the northern Indian classical tradition namely the hindustani tradition. The percussive nature of the album is incredibly engaging, with each track featuring a dazzling arch of techniques. The melodic nature of the album allows for Fleck's poignant banjo arrangements and improvisations to manifest with a serious potency and alongside a wide variety of classical and traditional techniques create a stunning soundscape. The album consists of twelve tunes, all of which are done with an astounding technical prowess. Musical scholars will no doubt be able to pick up on a plethora of different styles, rhythms, and patterns that are sure to bring satisfaction to their more astute leanings. This album is a must listen for anyone looking to expand their horizons, or for that matter anyone who is familiar with or a fan of Béla Fleck's work, as this falls in line with his unique pursuit of fusing many different styles together into one highly engaging, highly palatable piece.

RHODES MUSIC: CUT & BAND-AID

C Major 11/4 and 4/4 90 bpm 9 instruments 1 (homemade) sample

In contrast to the last song I posted, there isn't nearly as much to talk about here musically, so I'll go over the interesting technical stuff first. The song is split into two sections, the first taking up a bit more than half. I wasn't planning to make the song structured into two parts, it just sort of came out that way, which makes it sound like I don't know anything about composing, which I don't. A lot of my songs feel like they just pop up in fl studio unprompted, because I don't really think that much when I'm making music, it's like I'm teleporting from point A to point B (when I really just went unconcious and sleepwalked the distance).

Anyway, the first section is set in 11/4, which is just rib-tickling, and it features a midi clarinet in the center of things playing a repeating chord pattern with a similarly repeditive melody, using tape delay effects, tons of ornaments in the upper and middle end, and sharp changes in octave to offer interest throughout the section. It's really, really unorganized, but I might as well try to describe it. The chords are, loosely, GM CM Am FM, but it's worth noting that the phrases largely start and end with the third in the bass, the third actually being the lowest note in the bass in the whole section. The note is so short-lived that it borders on being strictly percussive. The whole section has a percussive feel to it because I decided to completely cut off the tail end of the clarinet sound, i.e. putting the release at zero. This in tandem with the tape delay I just completely abuse constitudes a spontaneous yet rich sound, hypnotising almost. At different points in a section I incorporated a repeating 4-note pattern of dyads in order to develop the harmonic tone a bit more, but I largely avoided holding notes for too long outside of the melody. The only real actual percussion I use is with a snap sound I incorporate into the background a bit past halfway in the section. Thinking back, this was most probably inspired by the similar purcussion in Aphex Twin's "Stone in Focus", and I like how it provides just a little bit of anatomy to the otherwise wishy-washy tone; I find it pretty easy to just lose attention of all the shit going on and just swim around in the harmony.

The second section goes to 4/4, since there's no way I could play anything structured or at least more purposeful in fuckin' 11/4 (I'm not some Berkeley graduate that only drinks black coffee and tells people that Tame Impala is overrated). I went from clarinet to guitars, having the low and middle end being filled out distinctly instead of blending together like in the previous section, and switched the progression to FM CM Em, making the harmonic tone more pronounced and the overall tone more HELL YEAH LET'S GO, further emphasized with a pretty simple melody that repeats and a nice and heavy drum beat. The guitars are similarly percussive, like the clarinet in the first section. This better sense of structure allowed me to add in a little synth solo section, which turned out really nice I think. That's really all that goes on in this section. I wish I could convey my thoughts about the relationship and contrast between the first and second sections, but all I can say right now is that I think it's kind of nice. Again, I fail to be able to fully recall my thoughts when I was actually making this, which is why I've only analysed my musical decisions in retrospect, but I feel like taking a moment to think about what's going on in the song after I've made it is begrudgingly healthy for me as a composer in some way. Regardless, I kinda like how it turned out, and it marks my transition into making more tonal-centered music.

Need help finding a song

Need help finding a song So I've spent the last couple hours trying to find this one instrumental song I used to listening to about 9-10 years ago. It's a slow relaxing instrumental song thats almost nothing but soft purcussion beats that half the time of end up falling asleep to. It starts out very soft and fades in to be a bit louder and then slowly fades in a soft da dadadada da type beat of a bass drum. Then adds in maybe a few more instruments with some symbols eventually thats steady until everything fades back out at the end and it ends with the same one instrument melody it started with. I thought it was called something like awake by the awakening, awoken by the awakening or something like that, I know the title and artist of the song were similar and started with an A becasue it was always at the top of my all songs list that was automatically sorted by alphabet, but since my SD card went out and I lost all 800 and something songs I had about a year or 2 ago, I've been slowly getting them all back. This whole thing started becasue my dryer had the same exact beat of said song going and it triggered a memory of the song and it's driving me insane. Of anyone can do research and help me out or maybe knows said song I'd appreciate it alot. Submitted August 04, 2024 at 10:49PM by Saphira_Rose3993 https://ift.tt/hYUcQ5k via /r/Music

Guess who's changing their section

It's me! After a few weeks from my double breakdown for not being able to blow into the mouthpiece of a flute, my section and I have finally confirmed I'll be switching sections!! I can't buzz my lips so... that's half of the band I can't play and theres so many people in clarinet. Purcussion here I go!!

[vzm]

they should make a precure series with sound being a theme and name one of the cures "cure cussion"

The Highlight from the Woodcut Session, where the silence was ignored  

Recorded after Keith Tippett’s 50-piece orchestra project Centipede, Blueprint couldn’t make a stronger contrast. This scaled-down session would become the starting point for the pianist’s free improvisation career. His piano playing was still under a strong jazz influence and he had not started to use the instrument’s bowels yet. Bassist Roy Babbington and vocalist Julie Tippetts accompany him almost throughout. Percussionists Frank Perry and Keith Bailey occasionally join in, providing mostly chimes and cymbals. The session, supervised by Robert Fripp, opens with “Song,” a delicate jazzy number. With “Dance,” things get more serious. Tippetts provides a steady rhythm guitar motif while everything around her breaks loose. Some numbers like “Glimpse” and “Woodcut” play more on silence than sound, exploring very quiet realms. At these points, the music is completely freed from any jazz references.

Anyone else notice all the instruments in the silksong info bits are purcussion?

The only deviation from this is hornet's makeshift guitar

Just something to think about

[vomitpremium]

Holy FUCKING SHIT Hades is a good FUCKING GAME

It's got a STUNNING sense of art and style

The levels design is some of the best ice ever seen like it all feels so ALIVE for being set in the kingdom of death. There's so much depth to the backdrops especially in Tartarus the beginning level where there's crumbling layers of Greek architecture and you can see further back to giant sculptures of monsters you've never seen before.

The music in this game is phenomenal. It lends itself to the environments so perfectly most of the time I forget to listen to it adidst the spirit beating but thankfully it's on Spotify (and an ingame jukebox in the form of Orpheus' music stand which helps to highlight the seperate tracks (and don't get me started on Supergiant's knack of putting beautifully sung songs in their game cos this one's got two!! (maybe more I havent 100%ed it yet)))

I didn't even notice that our big bearded freind on the left there had 1 eye for the first 10 runs and when I looked closer I was amazed at the detail cos it looks 3d and the fact that it's painted and fits so cleanly in the 3d environments is SUCH a testament to the artists!!

The character design is so unique and something I've only seen elsewhere in say indie boardgames with the same amount of sense of style. The way the characters talk and interact as if it were a dating sim lends itself INCREDIBLY well to showing off their designs without simplifying them down into 3dmodels aside from the few that you do fight, and even then they're very well represented ingame. The designs for the gods and mythic creatures are so incredibly creative and thought out down to little details I can't even begin to list them just look up the pictures. Not to mention the insane amount of voice work that went into this, each run provides more and more story and dialogue and I have yet to find a repeated line. This is a rougelike. This doesn't need to happen. This is incredible stroy telling, world building, and character development.

The music is not only thematic but also insanely detailed like the rest of the game. The zones have what you generally expect for them instrumentally wise, the Greek temples having lutes playing as their instrumental hooks, the firey lava pits having tonnes of heavy guitars and bass (the bass work in this game is stunning but thats a whole nuther post) the whole OST is catchy and great to just listen to each track, but the boss music is where it truly shines, I'll use the Fury's music, 'The Painful Way' as an example. It starts with purcussion and a droning chord for when you're talking to them but instantly picks up once you're done, throwing you into combat and there's no mistake about it, that lute (or whatever the actual instrument is called I feel bad for ksug trivialising it as a lute) you've been hearing all game so far has started plucking again with an intense low bass line powering it along, oh and now there's not just the lute but a singing voice too, ah this is going to be intense isn't it? These instruments are layered by more of them almost becoming a chorus but not quite. This quick paced battle theme matches the scorn thrown at you from Megara and the way she fights you hit that's not all. The longer you fight, and the more damage you do, the more she changes her moves she hurls at you, and so does the music to match. I don't know if the music changes in the last phase or if it's simply used for another sister but the music gets much more intense to match the Fury's, well, fury. The lute (or lyre?? Is that what I'm looking for) is replaced with a guitar which hammers out the same melody this time accompanied with backing riffing guitars ampimg up thay heat for the fight. The lead is then free to go fucking wild making tbr strings screech in the back of the track sounding almost like a scram. The bass joins in with the riffing guitars hammering down the energy as the song draws to a close and the lead starts to settle down.

It's a good song.

Almost every song is themed and builds in such an intellectual way and such a fucking sick way it's so amazing. This soundtrack is being used if I ever get back into DMing dnd games becuade the pacing is so good.

The gameay I could probably make another post if anyone wants to hear my take on its incredibly indepth and broad take on one of my favourite genres, the rougelike.

But two last things that make it a 10/10,

More Hamlet Thoughts because i leave everything to the 11th hour . production continues to be the 2018 globe w/ Michelle Terry

Hamlet and Ophelia’s uhhhhh fight 

Ham’s personality twists into cruel mockery of her at the line ‘Where’s your father’ and OHO the facial expressions

Ophelia kept trying to hold onto Hamlet’s hand and body and curl her fingers around hamlet’s hand and it was very heartbreaking . Hamlet was a ball of chaotic energy who scrabbled her hands off himself. rlly interesting to watch

this turned around with hamlet scrubbing over her face as he presents her to the audience’s 4th wall for the make up lines. and shoves her down to the floor at the end

the physical manipulation hamlet takes out on ophelia is a super interesting segue to the players scene

2 b / x 2 b

ham sat in the middle of the front of the stage and held the hand of an audience member who he talked he speech to. very intimate and closed and really interesting interpretation

im a nerd so i really like the juxtaposition of such a grand and philosophical speech being told on such an intimate and small scale

Hamlet’s still got his smudged clown makeup on

hamlet and horatio come across Very gay in the ‘something too much of this’ line. i vibe 

hamlet decimated his friendship with R&G and i LOVED how Horatio held him and then forced him away to give him just a touch more character. this Ht loved R&G as well and i appreciate the bit of character we all try to give horatio

Horatio’s Emotions over R&G’s impending death is a++ give this man some emotional range

OH the ‘if your mind dislike anything, obey it’ can we PLEASE listen to horatio the lone voice of reason within elsinor’s halls

that’s not me being gay, that’s a legit analysis of Hamlet in that everyone in Elsinor has a twisted sense of reality and morality and Horatio as an outsider is immune and must watch in horror

the argument is flawed with R&G but hey it’s not my theory.

THE TRUMPETS . there’s live trumpets 

the music they played to signal the half time of the play was wonderfully dissonant and i VIBE WITH THAT that is the ENERGY of Elsinor right there

honestly im annoying and i don’t particularly care for the play scene as an audience member. like academically the play within a play is rife with analysis but like. to just sit and watch it feels like such a halt in the energy

plus i really dislike it when they use gross physical comedy in the dumb-show because again. im annoying

anyway they only do the dumb-show (more tollerable than a lot) and they use drum beats and purcussion in place of lines, and have hamlet explain what’s going on with his lines. it’s certainly different and its a lot quicker than the text is

This Claudius is Prime Smarmy Politicians and is very indignant as he tries to pray and i REALLY LIKE HIM

The scene transitions are .. non existent in this play and i LIKE IT 

the lines follow on immediately between scenes as the other characters are leaving the stage 

i love how it supports the theme of acting this play has and how it breaks down the barrier for the audience of personal vs private 

thats not quite what i want to say uhhhhh. in other productions some of the scenes are really discreet from each other- like how pearl necklaces have stoppers between the pearls- and that’s especially evident in films, but here it’s the opposite and the scenes bleed into each other to create a really fast paced and chaotic energy and i REALLY LIKE IT

‘personal vs private’ is on god my favourite theme in hamlet and the way it works with the audience creating it here is GREAT

Closet scene... OH BOY

this hamlet is CRUEL oml 

the ghost enters after hamlet spends 3 minutes berating his mother and she’s crying on the floor by the audience and hamlet immediately stops and starts weeping 

‘oh save me’ sounds so small and childlike and it really showcases the love between them

not that kind of love, sigmund fucking freud. get your mind out the gutter

the disdain hamlet has for gertrude absolutely breaks my heart but that’s a me thing because i haven’t been able to see my mother in person for coming up on a month due to quarantine :(

added an extra hug before ham leaves .. v sweet

Claudius comes barreling in and picks up ham’s dropped sword. :eye emoji: doesn’t put it down until Hamlet’s brought in for questioning. but he’s still holding a book (english dictionary presumably?) and this act of holding a sword for 2 scenes WILL be reiterated time and time again in ever hamlet essay i write forever to whatever end i so desire because it’s easy to manipulate to my own purposes. bless this moment

There’s a seagull that keeps interrupting claudius at perhaps the funniest possible moments in his soliloquies and honestly WHERE is it’s Olivier

Ophelia’s madness isn’t as explicit as it is in other versions, but watching her tumble into emotions and lack of restraint is so, so heartbreaking.

this is one of the productions of hamlet that makes a really convincing case for ‘madness’ in elsinor being synonymous to speaking one’s mind and being truthful about one’s heightened emotions and like. i Love that interpretation

lets be real i love 99% of hamlet interpretations

the 1% is freud. fuck that guy

I’m Digging the parallel of Ophelia’s emotional outburts of grief (in madness) to Laertes incensed outburst of grief . ohoho

Laertes gets rosemary and pansies, Claudius gets fennel and columbines, Gertrude gets the rue, Audience member gets the daisy and the thought of violets

unfortunately i once wrote a shite poem about gertrude and weather she know of the poison in the cup at the end and unfortunately that’s all i can think about for the last 40 mins of the play hfdhgjgghjhgj

im annoying so i read along with the play and the duets Claudius and Laertes make of the meter and the word formatting on the page comes across really different on stage, which is super interesting. 

not to be really fucking dramatic but i read in the info packet of this play that the pillars on the stage are actually tree trunks carved and painted to look like marble and considering how many times i had to hear the words ‘appearance vs reality’ in my english class, i think im allowed to use the smirk emoji about how the setting of the globe is Integral to Hamlet as a play

i am itching to write an entire 4000 word tirade about the use of the physical body in hamlet because between the actual acting on stage, polonius, ‘one auspicious and one dropping eye’ and all whole host of references made to physical body parts i am going feral 

PLUS this one incorporates sign language 

i actually hate the word incorporates but needs must  

The Ophelia’s death speech is of course wonderful, but i can’t stop thinking about how John Everett Millais made his model (who’s name escapes me in a terrible irony because i got this information from an exhibition about the female pre-raphalites) sit in a cold bath for hours on end whilst he sketched and it made her very ill because the fire went out and she was sat nude in a bath of cold water for hours.

Gravedigger only has the songs and the hamlet interaction, and he wears a high vis jacket. he’s also played by the ghost’s actor, which whilst understandable in such a small cast, amuses me greatly

Hamlet’s got his hair tied back and in a military style jacket, and marches around with Horatio who’s in a hoodie and a black duffle coat (absolutely a student) and the same tight plait. Ham’s definitely meant to be sane now, he speaks very brusquely and all but marches around the stage

Not To Make An Edelgard Reference But edelgard’s cause in 3H was also cemented by a timeskip and a military outfit and a brusque personality hehehe 

Hamlet gets into the ‘grave’ to chat to Yorick which, again, i will use in every relevant essay i will write and manipulate this scene to whatever end i desire and on god i thank this production for this 

a level me would have gone feral

current me is also going feral

Grave Scene: a terrible one for your family to walk in and ask what the fuck you’re watching

Polonius’ actor plays the priest. yes, capsule wardrobe of a cast, i know but i’m an english student it’s my duty to wring every irrational inch of analysis out of this thing

i won’t trail on about unsubstaniated interpretations of Polonius’ parenting skills and fate in Hamlet but on god i will find an essay about it

i always enjoy it when someone leaps in the grave .. the melodrama... the meaning... the liminal spaces...

the DRAMA of seperating feral laertes and the really calm and imposing hamlet is excellent and a bit hilarious and the camera is going nuts

i’m very aware that everyone is now traipsing about over the grave in the middle of the stage and THAT’S a fun dynamic you don’t get from film or text

ok I’ve just noticed the video has the ‘top chat replay’ going and the very first line i saw is ‘what if hamlet had tiktok’ and i am CRYING 

Ophelia’s actor also plays Osric and is a) absolutely hilarious and b) again, capsule wardrobe of a cast will not stop me from analysing everything and anything this play may or may not offer me. 

im not saying hamlet is a play about inheritance and the burden of it, but also... isn’t it :eye emoji:

if bloody fire emblem fates can do it so can i, step off

Fencing scene: oh thank god it’s nearly over

The hearts on their fencing get ups parallel Hamlet’s clown outfit with a heart on the sleeve Very Nicely

Gertrude isn’t wearing her headpiece anymore .. ohoho dispelling the trappings and suits of dishonesty, if you will

The duel is a) bloody terrifying because sword fighting and b) judged by Osric (Ophelia) and the poetry of having ham & lae’s duel waged over and judged by Ophelia is absolutely excellent

Claudius’s aside (or to laertes? camera didn’t follow) had no right to be as humorous as it was jdfsghfkd

Gertrude figured out it was poison in this one. Nice

I like the call and response effect of ‘Treachery! Seek it out! / It is here Hamlet’ they made with Hamlet running around they stage to find little propped up Laertes

The dramatic eye contact of Hamlet and Claudius as he forces him to drink the poison.... OH HECK YES 

the way they sink to the floor in a pair, with hamlet crawling over his body to make sure he dies... oh LORD 

the swing hamlet does with his arm to the audience to cast them as ‘the unsatisfied’ was EXCELLENT and i would like that in every production of hamlet please 

the tussle of horatio and hamlet over the cup..... iconic.... and i enjoy the parallel of that to hamlet with claudius as they’re stood in the same corner 

The harsh projection of Hamlet’s voice and the blunt manner of his words about Fortinbras’ inheritance of denmark against the soft way Horatio rocks Hamlet back and forth ... i want to CRY

Horatio got to have emotional range in this production .. wonderful

i always enjoy the way the play tails off with politics in a room of dead bodies.. the layers the absolute onions

how none of the drama within the castle has any meaning to anyone outside of it is Excellent 

and then the way the prison and enclosure of elsinor is finally broken with military force in parallel to the tumultuous interpersonal relationships within it... i vibe yet more

they actually ended with ‘go bid the soldiers shoot’ which i enjoy a lot!!!! and the music is wonderful

then they all start doing this dance which i think is meant to be about the themes of the play and to be perfectly honest it’s a bit crunchy for me but the music absolutely slaps!!!

final thoughts:

that sure was a hamlet production and i thought it had a lot of heart and did some new things very very well!!!

and i loved the emphasis they put on the costuming!!!! 

overall: a solid hamlet. very nice. i greatly enjoyed it!!!!

Old friend charity

Cruel twisted smile

And the smile signals emptiness

For me

- Starless

King Crimson - Red (Date of Release: October 6th, 1974)

Heavy and dense, especially for the time it was released, Red is the sound of a band on the brink of collapse.

Built upon improvisation, and employing distorted guitar work over technical drums and purcussive bass, with a dash of abstract lyricism, the album progresses and muscles its way through the runtime.

A wonderfully influencial album that helped birth the sound of progressive and advantgarde metal decades later.

Pictured above is The Road to Red, a sprawling 21CD/DVD/2BD box set.

Favourite Songs: Starless, Red, One More Red Nightmare
